Product Description

The early Christian monastic traditons offer a wealth of insights into the nature and the aspirations of the human person. Long before psychology became the main reference point for the interoretation of our lives, the Desert Fathers and Mothers were true doctors of the soul--men and women who made a real life experience the basis for their spirituality rather than airy ideals.
